Until the middle of the twentieth century, none of the European archaeologists conducted excavations in the Maldives and this country remained terra incognita even for its own inhabitants. But the Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl begins a new adventure - he penetrates the jungle of the deserted atoll of Gaaf Gan and discovers the ruins of a stepped, sun-oriented stone pyramid, the walls of which are covered with solar symbols. How did she get here? Who built it? Who has lived on the island since time immemorial? These and other answers in the book of the fearless traveler "The Maldives Mystery".
